The sea is my spirit animal :)

There is a language older by far and deeper than words. It is the language of bodies, of body on body, wind on snow, rain on trees, wave on stone. It is the language of dream, gesture, symbol, memory. We have forgotten this language. We do not even remember that it exists. • Derrick Jensen, from A Language Older Than Words. photo Newfoundland by Hyacinthe Raimbault

“Realization is not about you, the wave, realizing it is ocean. The ocean realizes itself in you and reveals itself to have never been just a wave. Nothing changes except the falling away of a false belief.” ― Enza Vita via ECUMENICUS

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! (Mat 8:24-27 KJV)

Beautiful Wave. This is why horses are seen in the waves.

Water's almost magical. It can take on so many shapes and forms as a gas, liquid or solid. Clouds, steam from a kettle, geysers, little brooks, crashing waves, frost feathers on a cold glass pane, glaciers, snow, hail, pouring rain, misty drizzle. The list could go on and on - just so magical!

Blue Skies As Far As The Eye

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. : Sea Fever BY JOHN MASEFIELD

stunning sea and sky... I could sit on a porch and look at a view like this all day and listen to the waves. (altered photo)

Beautiful ocean waves

Huge White sun barely can peak through the swirling gray clouds of the coming storm over the ocean beach. -DdO:) - http://www.pinterest.com/DianaDeeOsborne/power-beyond-us/- Lot of small rocks on beach that's being pounded by medium sized waves... perhaps a river shore rather than the ocean.
